Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS launches the popular series onto handhelds... with mixed results. While created in conjunction with the Wii U iteration, the 3DS version features different stages and gameplay modes.

Did we mention the Duck Hunt Dog is a playable character? Yes, that Duck Hunt Dog.

To do:Similarly to Brawl and Melee, Mr. Game and Watch is modeled in 3D, then flattened as part of the "2D characters" code used in the Game and Watch level. Take some pictures of Mr. Game and Watch and his items in 3D.

Misc

Unused Multi-Man Smash Button

The blue "Quit" button after a match of Multi-Man Smash used to be a button that took you to the character selection (identically to how Target Blast and Home Run Contest works) instead of out of the game altogether, which would have been more convenient but for unknown reasons was cut. The Wii U version allows you to select your Multi-Man gamemode from the character selection screen, so it's possible the button was intended for this functionality.

The used "Quit" button still has the same figure icon as the character selection button instead of a more fitting one, suggesting that the button could have been changed late into development.

The button can still be seen for a split-second seemingly randomly after choosing to quit any of the Multi-Man Smash modes after death/completion of the mode.

Unused Sounds

Due to the simultaneous development between the 3DS and Wii U releases of the game, this installment contains a number of unused audio clips, some of which were used in the Wii U version.

Narration

"Boss Battle!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

An announcement for the unlockable Boss Battles mode in Brawl, which doesn't appear in the 3DS version in any capacity. However, it is used in the Wii U version whenever you fight a boss in Smash Tour.

"Tourney!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"The Champion is..."

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Official Tourney!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Online Tourneys are a feature in the Wii U version, but are not present in the 3DS version.

"Event Match!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Event Matches, while featured in the Wii U version, are not in the 3DS version.

"Get the Coins!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Grab the Coins!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Coin Battle, another mode from the previous games, is featured in the Wii U version, but not in the 3DS version.

"Special Smash!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Previously known as "Special Melee" and "Special Brawl", Special Smash is also featured in the Wii U version (although the narration for it wasn't used until v1.0.6), but absent from the 3DS one. For some reason, this clip can be heard in the Sound Test.

"8-Player Smash!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

The Wii U version features an eight-player mode, but the 3DS version can only support four-player.

"Yellow Team!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

The new Yellow Team is used in the Wii U version as part of 8-Player Smash, but because 8-Player Smash isn't in the 3DS version, neither is the Yellow Team.

"Smash World!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

May be related to the Wii U version's "Smash Tour" mode, as "Smash World" ("World Smash") is the name of the mode in the Japanese and Spanish versions.

"Special Orders!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Master Orders!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Crazy Orders!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Ticket Selection!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

All of these relate to the "Special Orders" mode in the Wii U version. However, the "Special Orders!" narration isn't used in the Wii U version either.

"Choose a Mii!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

This is heard when you select a Mii in Smash Tour in the Wii U version. Obviously, it is not used in the 3DS version.

"Choose a Build!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Likely intended for the Fighter Customization menu.

"Mii Gunner!"

"Mii Swordfighter!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Announcements for each individual Mii variant, which go unused in the 3DS release, as all Miis simply use the "Mii" announcement clip.

Characters

As expected, many of the game's playable characters also have a number of audio clips which, for one reason or another, don't end up used in the game. Note that for the characters who reuse voices from previous Smash Bros. games, all of their unused audio in Brawl is also unused here, with the exception of one of Meta Knight's.

Kirby

"Ten no Hikari!" ("天の光!")

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Heavenly Light!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Bakuen!" ("爆炎!")

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

"Explosive Flame!"

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

In the final game, Kirby can only copy default neutral specials even if the character he swallows has a custom one equipped, meaning he can only acquire Palutena's Autoreticle. As a result, these adorable announcements of Heavenly Light and Explosive Flame go unused. There are two potential explanations for this: either Kirby was originally capable of copying custom specials, or it was not decided which of Palutena's specials would be the default until after the voice work was done.

kirby_Appeal03

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

The long "Hi!" synonymous with the pink puffball, said at a fairly soft pitch. While totally unused here, the Wii U version would use it upon collecting Kirby in Smash Tour.

Marth

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Three clips of Marth which played whenever he successfully countered an attack in previousinstallments. Marth uses one of his generic yells when countering in this game, rendering these unique lines unused. These are still present in the game's sound test as sounds 22-24. In Roy's trailer, you can hear Marth saying the first clip above when he is countering.

Rosalina & Luma

Rosetta_Attack07

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Rosalina playfully yelling. Appears to have been intended as another generic attacking voice, and is likely a leftover from Mario Kart 7, where Rosalina's other voice files were imported from.

Wario

Wario_010

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

A groggy moan by the greedy porkster. In the previous game, this file was used when the effects of Wario's Final Smash (Wario-Man) ran out, and he reverted to his normal form. Under the same circumstances, Wario is silent in this game.

Yoshi

To do:Audio file.

The sound Yoshi makes when Ground Pounding in the Yoshi's Island games can be heard as Clip 22 in his section of the Sound Test, but he is silent when using the Yoshi Bomb in this game, which is rather odd, as Yoshi made this sound effect in the previous games.

Mewtwo

Mewtwo_win01_01

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Mewtwo saying "Watashi wa makeru wake niwa ikanai", translating as "There is no way I can lose." Similarly to Melee, this voice clip is used in Japanese versions of the game in Mewtwo's victory poses, but is overwritten with files where Mewtwo doesn't talk in international releases.

Mewtwo_win02_01

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

Corrin

Both genders of Corrin have strong launch yells that are, for one reason or another, never used in-game (they remain silent when taking a high-knockback hit instead). These clips can still be heard in the sound test.

Both voice clips for both genders are properly used in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Background Music

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

The tune played at the end of a Street Fighter II match. A remixed version of this song would later be included as the DLC fighter Ryu's victory theme. It was likely used during development as a placeholder.

Miscellaneous Sounds

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

The sound effect for collecting a CD in Brawl. The only unlockable pieces of music in the 3DS version are obtained through completing Challenges and unlocking stages, so the CD item and the sound above remain unused. It is used in the Wii U version, though.

Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.

A very brief beep, which sounds nearly identical to the dummy sound stream present (and unused) in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Because Sora worked on both games, it was likely reused as a placeholder.

Brawl Sticker Type Leftovers

Just like in Brawl, every hitbox can be labelled as an Arm, Leg, Head, Body, etc. attack. This is used by Smash Run for the powers such as Strong Body and Strong Head, which increase damage dealt by certain type of attacks. That said, the 3DS and Wii U versions port over the entire type chart from Brawl, even though most of them aren't used by Smash Run powers (or anything else).

It's therefore a bit unclear why the developers bothered giving the newcomers attacks coded as Sword or Magic, given that they have no gameplay effect. Perhaps there's a bunch of cut Smash Run powers for them?
